This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Dear Gus,
Many thanks for my regular fix of EUG news.
I am writing to you as one of your more senior members
(aged 71) whose eyesightis failing and is unable to use a
television screen any longer. I am placing an advertisement in
the Sales/Wanted section for a monitor.
Whilst writing to you could I ask you to include a
Tape-to-Disc program in a future issue, also many moons ago in
Issue 6 I requested a multi-print program. several were kindly
supplied but I have been unable to use them. Has anybody else had
any luck with them.
Lastly, has anybody had any experience with the ELK and
modems? Would I be correct in thinking that the ELK has not got the
capacity to down-load information from bulletin boards.
Yours sincerely
Michael Harris
I USE A MONITOR ALL THE TIME AND IT IS CERTAINLY BETTER FOR READING TEXT
MAKE SURE YOU GET ONE THAT HAS A COMPOSITE INPUT AS PC TYPES NEED
SEPARATE SYNCs. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO DEREK WALKER THAT HE MIGHT TRY
DESIGNING A UNIT TO RUN A PC MONITOR FROM THE ELK AND I KNOW HE IS
THINKING ABOUT IT.
I HAVE BEEN ASKING AROUND FOR SOME TIME FOR A TAPE TO DISK PROGRAM BUT
AS YET WITH NO LUCK. PERHAPS SOMEONE WILL READ THIS AND COME UP WITH
SOMETHING.
ON MODEMS, I USED ONE FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE 'PHONE BILL CAME AND I'D
USED ALMOST AS MUCH AS MY WIFE. NOW THAT WE HAVE CABLE THE 'PHONE BILL
HAS COME DOWN BUT THE WIFE HAS DECIDED THIS MEANS SHE CAN USE THE 'PHONE
MORE OFTEN SO I STILL DON'T USE A MODEM. YOU NEED A SERIAL PORT. ONE IS
AVAILABLE FROM JAFFA SYSTEMS. I HAVE ONE AND IT IS VERY GOOD. IT ISN'T
CHEAP BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE COMPONENTS BUT LIKE ALL OF THE
EQUIPMENT I HAVE HAD FROM JAFFA I CAN RECOMMEND IT. I NOW USE MINE
MAINLY FOR MY CUMANA TOUCH PAD WHICH IS USEFUL FOR SOME THINGS.
